his jacket off:: He's gone? Hunh.. he say anything about when
he'd be back?
<Jeeves> He neglected to mention.
<Donovon> You know what was fun? ::not talking to anyone in
particular:: Jumping off of this city, that was fun. Nothing else
we ever do is fun. How come we don't ever have any fun?
<Static> heh..Sounds sorta like my family..must leave for
some..interesting family reunions..

Doom, who instructed it to be played when you returned.ACTION> JEEVES' IMAGE IS REPLACED BY ONE OF DOOM.<Doom> I expect an immediate report on your
assignment. I may have to take action against Primus in the near
future.

<Powerslam> ::looks at Doom, glancing to Dono:: The same
way we did
<Predator> Does it matter?
<Doom> The treatment on your teammate, Access, has been
completed and he is being returned to you. Along with two more
teammates. The one you will know as Firewall is the individual
responsible for Access' survival.
<Powerslam> Firewall... Access... what're... his... her?
powers?
<Donovon> Not really, no. Where's my puppy?
<Xeno> ::blinks, not reconizing the names::

concerning the megacorporations current behavior.ACTION> THE HOLOIMAGE RETURNS TO JEEVES.<Powerslam> ::looks at Jeeves:: Where's that...
what was it... St. Bernard I think it was? Grand Mastiff or
something? Where's the dog that got into the halls last night?
Did it manage to escape the building?
<Kali> ::Glances at Static.:: I'd be a bit unwelcome if I
went to one. But it would be fun to see.
<Powerslam> ::looks at Dono:: Now remember... you have to
clean up after it's messes...
<Predator> ::glances around, heading for her room to do a
little... private investigation::
<Shackle> ::::: slings the rifle over his shoulder and
looks to Jaxion :::::: Whats next Boss?
<Xeno> ::looks at Jeeves:: its there an ammo place around
where i can reload my missles?
<Donovon> Suresuresure, just give him to me
<Predator> ((Hikaru Sama... Doom's database has gotta have
some way of locating him..)) ::sits down at a computer console in
her room after she locks the door, then runs a search for Hikaru
Sama::
<Powerslam> Does this thing work? ::looks at Jeeves:: Do
you know where the dog is or not?
<Static> Hmm..::Watches the Hologram from Doom end, having
expected more::
<Jeeves> The dog was claimed and removed from the building.
::looks at Xeno:: Yes, Level 23 has the necessary equipment for
your suit's rearmaments and repair.
<Powerslam> Sorry... ::shrugs:: they took it away
<Xeno> alright, and how about a place where i can check my
suits strength?
<Jaxion> ::walks out of the hangar, heading down the hall::
I'll go take care fo the report. Also have a project I need to
work on.
<Jeeves> Diagnostic equipment is also available.
<Xeno> alright ::walks off to level 23::ACTION> ANOTHER HOLOGRAM OF JEEVES APPEARS NEXT TO
PREDATOR IN HER ROOM.<Donovon> I don't know him, but already I don't
like him. Can we have Access reprogram him when he gets here?
<Predator> ::starts slightly, looking up at Jeeves, eyes
narrowing::
<Kali> It's not too bad, he has a funny accent.
<Jeeves> ::to Predator:: You requested information on
Hikaru Sama, head of the Stark-Fujikawa corporation. His current
location is Stark-Fujikawa tower in Nueva York.

takes the lift to the level his roomis on ::::

<Static> Don't the rest of you find it unnerving that he
can appear whenever and wherever he wants..? ::Shakes his head,
heading for his room::
<Xeno> ::takes the pack off, presses a button to make it
form off of him::
<Jeeves> ::looks down at Predator:: Nueva York, located on
the eastern seaboard. Formerly known and still occasionally
referred to as New York.
<Donovon> Plan on doing something you don't want him
popping in on?
<Predator> Why the name change? ::eyes Jeeves:: ((Now this
could be a valuable source to brush up my 'history' lessons...))
<Kali> ::Sighs and sits on chair, closing her eyes for a
moment then streches.::
<Xeno> ::looks around at the different kinds of weapons::
<Static> ::Glances back:: No..not really..just unnerves me,
that I don't know where he is, or how to tell if he's coming or
not..
<Shackle> :::: walks into his room and sets the rifle next
to the door shutting it :::::
<Donovon> Yeah, like you can't do the same thing whenever
you feel like.ACTION> IN THE WORKSHOP, XENO SEES A VAST ARRAY OF

ARMOR.<Shackle> :::::walks over to the window in his
room and opens the shades :::::

little trip to Ne.. Nueva York?
<Static> Hey, I at least knock..usually..::Shrugs and heads
for his room, raising his mask and lighting up a cigarette, as he
does::
<Xeno> wow, cool ::goes and grabs a case of rockets::
<Jeeves> The name change was part of a cultural movement in
the 2070s. However, many still call the city New York.
<Jeeves> If you will be travelling alone, I will have an
Alchemax Edgerunner prepped for your departure. Would you like
schematics and information of Stark-Fujikawa Tower?

opening one and then begins unpacking placing the items around

remaining buildings in Nueva York. It's existance dates back to
the late 20th century. Then it was known as the Four Freedom
Plaza, occupied by the group known as the Fantastic Four. Early

given in 50 minutes.
<Kali> All right, just what they ship and where exactly
it's located for now?

then heading towards joes :::::

::flies into the air::ACTION> THE VR EQUIPMENT ACTIVATES AND DONOVON FEELS A
SLIGHT RUSH AS HE IS PUNCHED INTO CYBERSPACE. FINDING HIMSELF AT
THE ENTRANCE OF A SORT OF BAR, AND HIMSELF LOOKING RATHER BLAND
AND BASIC THAN THE OTHER PEOPLE HE SEES GOING IN AND OUT.<Static> ::Feels around under the desk, while
waiting for the console to boot up::
<Shackle> ::: shifts the cycle and guns the throttle again
sending him speeding through the streets of seatle :::::
<Xeno> ::goes to a titanium wall and punches it down::
<Powerslam> ::walks into the workshop, glancing around then
heads for a computer console over to the side::
<Predator> ::sleeps, eyelids flickering slightly::
<Jeeves> The Primus corporation is a very large and broad
business. It's import and export contained many things ranging
from narcotics to weaponry to simple food supplies. They current
base location is London, England. With jurisdiction over most of
Great Britain.
<Donovon> All it took was a good kick. ::smirks contentedly
and walks over to the bar taking in the atmosphere, heh::
<Kali> ::Nods shortly.:: All right, please keep me posted
if you can get more infomation.
<Xeno> hey, butler, were there any more XEN0998's made
after the first prototype? ::fires at another target::
<Jeeves> ::appears in front of the desk, looking at
Static;: Do you require assistance in your search for
information?
<Shackle> :::: pulls the cycle into joes parking lot and
kills the engion settling the cycle to the ground ::::
<Jeeves> I will attempt to gather as much information of
Primus' import and export as available. ::nods and disappears::ACTION> POWERSLAM NOTICES JAXION IN THE WORKSHOP TOO
AS HE ENTERS. <Static> ::Glances up at Jeeves:: Was just a
little curious if there was anything my father might have left
behind..clue or anything, really..or for that matter..anything of
my mother's..::Frowns::
<Powerslam> ::looks at Jax:: Hey, what're you up to?
<Jeeves> ::stands next to Xeno:: After recruiting you, Doom
forbid Horizon from manufacturing further models.
<Shackle> :::: pulls the card key out of the cycle and then
enters Joe's :::
<Kali> ::Closes her eyes and shakes her head.:: ((Silly to
think I'll get any ideas what's going on with basic infomation,
but it's a start.))
<Xeno> ahh, good good ::grins under his mask::
<Jaxion> Hm? ::glances back at Powerslam:: Technomancer
stuff. A sort of.. demon locator.
<Donovon> ::takes a seat at the bar and looks up at the
bartender:: Give me your strongest, hardest drink. . .in a dirty
glass. ::slams his fist down on the bar though not hard enough to
punch a hole::
<Xeno> whatever happened to the guy that double-crossed me?
<Powerslam> Demon locator? Like what Kali was talking
about? I'm going to try and build something.. key word beign try
<Shackle> :::::walks in and takes a table waiting for a
waitress to take his order ::::::
<Jeeves> ::to Static:: I have been recovering your father's
personal logs as part of my functions. Will that be what you
want?
<Jaxion> ::blinks, looking at Powerslam:: What about Kali?
<Powerslam> She was mumbling something about demons.
<Static> ::Blinks:: Yes..yes, that'd work just fine,
Jeeves.
<Shackle> ::: when the waitress comes by i order a burger
and onion rings and deep fried mushrooms :::::
<Jaxion> Not surprising, heh.. she is one. ::keeps
working:: But no, that's not it. This is for my brother.
<Powerslam> Your brother? ::blinks:: Didn't... know you had
a brother.
<Xeno> and what is your name?
<Predator> ::jerks out of her light sleep for a moment,
blinking:: ((damn... keep dreaming about the adamantium
bonding...)) ::grimaces slightly, rubbing her arms, and rests
back, trying to fall asleep again::
<Jeeves> ::nods to Static:: The recovery is not complete,
Genesis apparently attempted to wipe most of your father's files
before departing.
<Jeeves> ::to Xeno:: I am unaware of whom you refer to. My
designation is Jeeves.
<Xeno> alright Jeeves, who reported my as stealing this
suit?
<Jaxion> I sorta do, I sorta don't. He went demonic and
killed my parents. Spent the past few years trying to find him
before he kills me too. Kali's been helping.
<Static> It'll be enough..How much were you able to
recover?
<Donovon> ::waits on his drink:: The service in this place
is terrible!
<Jeeves> ::to Xeno:: The report was anonymous.
<Powerslam> ::winces:: Ouch... ::glances at the monitor::
Aha... found a nice looking one... too bad it's too old... wonder
if I could update it with modern stuff
<Jeeves> ::to Static:: Various personal logs, some
incomplete. Is there anything inparticular you wish revelevant
information to?
<Kali> ::Sighs briefly for a moment and covers her face
with her hands.:: ((I'm all panicky over nothing, I'm not a
threat to ether of them, if anything it's the vampire or Jax's
brother... my guess its the vampire.))
<Static> Anything relating to me, my mother or possibly
anywhere that Genesis may have taken him to. ::takes a puff of
his cigarette::
<Xeno> damn.. alright one more thing.. and id like if you
didnt tell anyone i asked, but, do you know if anything happened
to a Kimerly Dalern in Horizon's R&D department?
<Xeno> ::suits down and touches his gold ring on his
finger::
<Static> ((Let's see just what he has to say..)) ::Frowns::
((Prob'ly know what I'm going to hear..that I'm a disgrace and
somesuch..))
<Jeeves> ::to Xeno:: Her disappearance was reported. No
further information.
<Xeno> damn.... well thank you ::walks out::
<Predator> ::sits up, unable to fall back asleep, and rests
her chin in one hand, sighing slightly:: Computer... do you have
access to historical documents?
<Jeeves> ::to Static, silent for a moment:: There is no
information on current whereabouts. Extensive logs concerning
your mother's death. And you are mentioned quite frequently in
all logs.
<Computer> Will access Jeeves program for historical data.
<Static> What..? ::Blinks:: Alright, let's take a look at
those, then..
<Xeno> ::walks to his room and sits on his bed::
<Predator> ::nods slightly, then chews on her lower lip::
Computer, what sort of... records do you have of Victor Creed?
<Jeeves> Specify "those"
<Powerslam> ::hmms, looking at the model on his screen::
((Or maybe I should just leave it the way it is but use materials
available... make it stronger... lighter... have to worry about
what it'd do to the flying, though... maybe turn the props to jet
enginess...))
<Jeeves> ::appears in the edgerunner:: Information on
Victor Creed AKA Sabretooth is scarce in most regards, as are
many records from that time period.
<Xeno> ((damn.. why does everything happen... whoever got
me shot at for stealing will be toast and also if anyone harms
dear Kimberly... ill do worse))
<Static> The ones about my mother's death, Jeeves.
<Predator> ::sighs:: Arigato, Jeeves... that's all..
<Xeno> ::places the hight tech pack in the corner and
activates the feild::
<Shackle> :::: finishes eating and gets up to pay, not
paying attention and bumps into a waitress how inturn spills come
coffee into a bodybuilders lap::::
<Predator> ::drums her claws on the arm of the chair::
Computer, ETA?
<Shackle> ::::to waitress::::ohh i'msorry, i'm just so
clumbsy today ......
<Computer> 30 minutes.
<Kali> ::Yawns.:: Better take that nap... ::Lays on her
side and folds up her wings.::ACTION> JEEVES' IMAGE CHANGES TO STATIC'S FATHER,
PACING BACK IN FORTH IN THE OFFICE.<Static> ::Sits back, watching intently, keeping
his eyes on his father::
<Shackle> ::::: leavesjoes after paying and hops on his
skycycle :::::
<Shackle> ::::: fires the puppie up and rockets back to hq
::::
<Steven> ::continues pacing:: We finally field test the
project tonight. Genesis has continually pushed for this for
months. I really wish we could have run more simulations, covered
all possible accidents. We've been able to open the dimension
rift but there's no telling what could happen once its open!
<Shackle> ::::: lands the skycycle in the hanger and closes
the hanger door::::
<Steven> Erin assures me everything will be alright, that
Genesis wouldn't have us go through with it if it was not safe.
But she doesn't know him as I do. She's even coming with me for
support tonight. I wish Ethan could come, but I can't guarantee
his safety and Genesis has denied it anyway...
<Static> ::Frowns, as he listens::
<Steven> ::sighs and looks up:: Well it's time to prep for
the test. This is my life's work.. I hope it works.
<Static> ::Grimaces:: ((Yeah, and I know just how well it
turned out..))ACTION> THE IMAGE OF STEVEN FLICKERS. AFTER THE
FLICKER STEVEN IS DOWN ON THE FLOOR, HIS CLOTHES CHARRED AND TORN
AND HIS HANDS ON HIS FACE.<Static> ::Blinks, eyeing the image::
<Steven> Everything was going according to the simulations
we ran. We controlled the rift's opening and inserted the probe.
Genesis was breathing down out necks the entire time.
<Steven> I.. I don't know how it happened. But the probe
was destroyed and energy levels skyrocketed. Everyone scrambles
to compensate but it was like we were trying to cage a cornered
animal. Nothing works and it only got worse...
<Static> ::Grimaces:: ((Yeah..much worse..))
<Steven> We should have shut it down, closed the rift. But
Genesis kept yelling for us to continue. Erin confronted him,
telling everyone to get out of their and abort. Genesis would let
us.. then before we knew it everything went critical in a blink
of an eye...
<Static> ::Grits his teeth, as he listens::
<Steven> We lost containment.. it's all a blur now. Things
started to explode.. the rift was growing as more energy poured
out of it...
<Steven> I tried to get to Erin.. everything was so
chaotic.. I found her holding onto her station console with the
rift getting closer to her.. I tried to get to her.. I didn't
know what I could do.. I just had to get to her..
<Static> ::Watches:: ((Then..why didn't you?))
<Steven> I was almost there.. then Genesis came out of
nowhere and grabbed me. I couldn't get away from him and he
ignored Erin's cries.. As energy from the rift exploded, he
shielded me.. saying he still had need of me. There was a bright
flash.. I couldn't see her anymore.. everything was gone.. the
entire testing sight.. Genesis dropped me and he had nothing to
say.. he didn't even care! When he did say something, it was just
an order to redo my calculations on the containment for next
time!
<Static> ::Eyes go wide:: What?!
<Static> That son of a glitch! ::Reflexively ignites his
blades:: Genesis..I'll kill him..
<Steven> I can't let Ethan know.. If he finds out he'll
confront Genesis... and I'll lose him too..********SIM END********
